| 1 | And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved. | Et quidam descendentes de Iudaea docebant fratres: Quia nisi circumcidamini secundum morem Moysi, non potestis salvari. | Καί τινες κατελθόντες ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἐδίδασκον τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ περιτέμνησθε τῷ ἔθει Μωϋσέως, οὐ δύνασθε σωθῆναι. |
| 2 | And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question. | Facta ergo seditione non minima Paulo et Barnabae adversus illos, statuerunt ut ascenderent Paulus et Barnabas, et quidam alii ex aliis ad Apostolos et presbyteros in Ierusalem super hac quaestione. | γενομένης οὖν στάσεως καὶ ζητήσεως οὐκ ὀλίγης τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Βαρνάβᾳ πρὸς αὐτούς, ἔταξαν ἀναβαίνειν Παῦλον καὶ Βαρνάβαν καί τινας ἄλλους ἐξ αὐτῶν πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους καὶ πρεσβυτέρους εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ περὶ τοῦ ζητήματος τούτου. |
| 3 | They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren. | Illi ergo deducti ab ecclesia pertransibant Phoenicen et Samariam, narrantes conversionem gentium: et faciebant gaudium magnum omnibus fratribus. | Οἱ μὲν οὖν προπεμφθέντες ὑπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας διήρχοντο τὴν Φοινίκην καὶ Σαμάρειαν ἐκδιηγούμενοι τὴν ἐπιστροφὴν τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ ἐποίουν χαρὰν μεγάλην πᾶσι τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς. |
| 4 | And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them. | Cum autem venissent Ierosolymam, suscepti sunt ab ecclesia, et ab Apostolis et senioribus, annuntiantes quanta Deus fecisset cum illis. | παραγενόμενοι δὲ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπεδέχθησαν ὑπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας καὶ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἀνήγγειλάν τε ὅσα ὁ Θεὸς ἐποίησε μετ᾽ αὐτῶν, καὶ ὅτι ἤνοιξε τοῖς ἔθνεσι θύραν πίστεως. |
| 5 | But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses. | Surrexerunt autem quidam de haeresi pharisaeorum, qui crediderunt, dicentes quia oportet circumcidi eos, praecipere quoque servare legem Moysi. | Ἐξανέστησαν δέ τινες τῶν ἀπὸ τῆς αἱρέσεως τῶν Φαρισαίων πεπιστευκότες, λέγοντες ὅτι δεῖ περιτέμνειν αὐτοὺς παραγγέλλειν τε τηρεῖν τὸν νόμον Μωϋσέως. |
| 6 | And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter. | Conveneruntque Apostoli et seniores videre de verbo hoc. | Συνήχθησαν δὲ οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἰδεῖν περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου. |
| 7 | And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. | Cum autem magna conquisitio fieret, surgens Petrus dixit ad eos: Viri fratres, vos scitis quoniam ab antiquis diebus Deus in nobis elegit, per os meum audire gentes verbum Evangelii et credere. | Πολλῆς δὲ συζητήσεως γενομένης ἀναστὰς Πέτρος εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε ὅτι ἀφ᾽ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων ὁ Θεὸς ἐν ἡμῖν ἐξελέξατο διὰ τοῦ στόματός μου ἀκοῦσαι τὰ ἔθνη τὸν λόγον τοῦ εὐαγγελίου καὶ πιστεῦσαι. |
| 8 | And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us; | Et qui novit corda Deus, testimonium perhibuit, dans illis Spiritum Sanctum, sicut et nobis, | καὶ ὁ καρδιογνώστης Θεὸς ἐμαρτύρησεν αὐτοῖς δοὺς αὐτοῖς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον καθὼς καὶ ἡμῖν, |
| 9 | And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. | et nihil discrevit inter nos et illos, fide purificans corda eorum. | καὶ οὐδὲν διέκρινε μεταξὺ ἡμῶν τε καὶ αὐτῶν τῇ πίστει καθαρίσας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν. |
| 10 | Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? | Nunc ergo quid tentatis Deum, imponere iugum super cervices discipulorum quod neque patres nostri, neque nos portare potuimus? | νῦν οὖν τί πειράζετε τὸν Θεόν, ἐπιθεῖναι ζυγὸν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τῶν μαθητῶν, ὃν οὔτε οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν οὔτε ἡμεῖς ἰσχύσαμεν βαστάσαι; |
| 11 | But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also. | sed per gratiam Domini Iesu Christi credimus salvari, quemadmodum et illi. | ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι καθ᾽ ὃν τρόπον κἀκεῖνοι. |
| 12 | And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. | Tacuit autem omnis multitudo: et audiebant Barnabam et Paulum narrantes quanta Deus fecisset signa et prodigia in gentibus per eos. | Ἐσίγησε δὲ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος καὶ ἤκουον Βαρνάβα καὶ Παύλου ἐξηγουμένων ὅσα ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι δι᾽ αὐτῶν. |
| 13 | And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me. | Et postquam tacuerunt, respondit Iacobus, dicens: Viri fratres, audite me. | Μετὰ δὲ τὸ σιγῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπεκρίθη Ἰάκωβος λέγων· ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ἀκούσατέ μου. |
| 14 | Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name. | Simon narravit quemadmodum primum Deus visitavit sumere ex gentibus populum nomini suo. | Συμεὼν ἐξηγήσατο καθὼς πρῶτον ὁ Θεὸς ἐπεσκέψατο λαβεῖν ἐξ ἐθνῶν λαὸν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ. |
| 15 | And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written: | Et huic concordant verba prophetarum: sicut scriptum est: | καὶ τούτῳ συμφωνοῦσιν οἱ λόγοι τῶν προφητῶν, καθὼς γέγραπται· |
| 16 | After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up: | Post haec revertar, et reaedificabo tabernaculum David quod decidit: et diruta eius reaedificabo, et erigam illud: | μετὰ ταῦτα ἀναστρέψω καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω τὴν σκηνὴν Δαυῒδ τὴν πεπτωκυῖαν, καὶ τὰ κατεσκαμμένα αὐτῆς ἀνοικοδομήσω καὶ ἀνορθώσω αὐτήν, |
| 17 | That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things. | ut requirant ceteri hominum Dominum, et omnes gentes super quas invocatum est nomen meum, dicit Dominus faciens haec. | ὅπως ἂν ἐκζητήσωσιν οἱ κατάλοιποι τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὸν Κύριον, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐφ᾽ οὓς ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς, λέγει Κύριος ὁ ποιῶν ταῦτα πάντα. |
| 18 | To the Lord was his own work known from the beginning of the world. | Notum a saeculo est Domino opus suum. | γνωστὰ ἀπ᾽ αἰῶνός ἐστι τῷ Θεῷ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ. |
| 19 | For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted. | Propter quod ego iudico non inquietari eos qui ex gentibus convertuntur ad Deum, | διὸ ἐγὼ κρίνω μὴ παρενοχλεῖν τοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐπιστρέφουσιν ἐπὶ τὸν Θεόν, |
| 20 | But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. | sed scribere ad eos ut abstineant se a contaminationibus simulacrorum, et fornicatione, et suffocatis, et sanguine. | ἀλλὰ ἐπιστεῖλαι αὐτοῖς τοῦ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλισγημάτων τῶν εἰδώλων καὶ τῆς πορνείας καὶ τοῦ πνικτοῦ καὶ τοῦ αἵματος. |
| 21 | For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath. | Moyses enim a temporibus antiquis habet in singulis civitatibus qui eum praedicent in synagogis, ubi per omne sabbatum legitur. | Μωϋσῆς γὰρ ἐκ γενεῶν ἀρχαίων κατὰ πόλιν τοὺς κηρύσσοντας αὐτὸν ἔχει ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον ἀναγινωσκόμενος. |
| 22 | Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren. | Tunc placuit Apostolis et senioribus cum omni ecclesia eligere viros ex eis, et mittere Antiochiam cum Paulo et Barnaba: Iudam, qui cognominabatur Barsabas, et Silam, viros primos in fratribus: | Τότε ἔδοξε τοῖς ἀποστόλοις καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις σὺν ὅλῃ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐκλεξαμένους ἄνδρας ἐξ αὐτῶν πέμψαι εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν σὺν τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ Βαρνάβᾳ, Ἰούδαν τὸν ἐπικαλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν καὶ Σίλαν, ἄνδρας ἡγουμένους ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς, |
| 23 | Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting. | scribentes per manus eorum: Apostoli et seniores fratres, his qui sunt Antiochiae, et Syriae, et Ciliciae, fratribus ex gentibus, salutem. | γράψαντες διὰ χειρὸς αὐτῶν τάδε· Οἱ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ τοῖς κατὰ τὴν Ἀντιόχειαν καὶ Συρίαν καὶ Κιλικίαν ἀδελφοῖς τοῖς ἐξ ἐθνῶν χαίρειν. |
| 24 | Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment: | Quoniam audivimus quia quidam ex nobis exeuntes, turbaverunt vos verbis, evertentes animas vestras, quibus non mandavimus, | Ἐπειδὴ ἠκούσαμεν ὅτι τινὲς ἐξ ἡμῶν ἐξελθόντες ἐτάραξαν ὑμᾶς λόγοις ἀνασκευάζοντες τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν, λέγοντες περιτέμνεσθαι καὶ τηρεῖν τὸν νόμον, οἷς οὐ διεστειλάμεθα, |
| 25 | It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul: | placuit nobis collectis in unum eligere viros, et mittere ad vos cum carissimis nostris Barnaba et Paulo, | ἔδοξεν ἡμῖν γενομένοις ὁμοθυμαδόν, ἐκλεξαμένους ἄνδρας πέμψαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς σὺν τοῖς ἀγαπητοῖς ἡμῶν Βαρνάβᾳ καὶ Παύλῳ, |
| 26 | Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. | hominibus qui tradiderunt animas suas pro nomine Domini nostri Iesu Christi. | ἀνθρώποις παραδεδωκόσι τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ· |
| 27 | We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things. | Misimus ergo Iudam et Silam, qui et ipsi vobis verbis referent eadem. | ἀπεστάλκαμεν οὖν Ἰούδαν καὶ Σίλαν καὶ αὐτοὺς διὰ λόγου ἀπαγγέλλοντας τὰ αὐτά. |
| 28 | For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things: | Visum est enim Spiritui Sancto et nobis nihil ultra imponere vobis oneris quam haec necessaria: | ἔδοξε γὰρ τῷ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι καὶ ἡμῖν μηδὲν πλέον ἐπιτίθεσθαι ὑμῖν βάρος πλὴν τῶν ἐπάναγκες τούτων, |
| 29 | That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well. | ut abstineatis vos ab immolatis simulacrorum, et sanguine, et suffocato, et fornicatione: a quibus custodientes vos, bene agetis. Valete. | ἀπέχεσθαι εἰδωλοθύτων καὶ αἵματος καὶ πνικτοῦ καὶ πορνείας· ἐξ ὧν διατηροῦντες ἑαυτοὺς εὖ πράξετε. ἔρρωσθε. |
| 30 | They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle. | Illi ergo dimissi, descenderunt Antiochiam: et congregata multitudine tradiderunt epistolam. | Οἱ μὲν οὖν ἀπολυθέντες ἦλθον εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν, καὶ συναγαγόντες τὸ πλῆθος ἐπέδωκαν τὴν ἐπιστολήν. |
| 31 | Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. | Quam cum legissent, gavisi sunt super consolatione. | ἀναγνόντες δὲ ἐχάρησαν ἐπὶ τῇ παρακλήσει. |
| 32 | But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them. | Iudas autem et Silas, et ipsi cum essent prophetae, verbo plurimo consolati sunt fratres, et confirmaverunt. | Ἰούδας τε καὶ Σίλας, καὶ αὐτοὶ προφῆται ὄντες, διὰ λόγου πολλοῦ παρεκάλεσαν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ ἐπεστήριξαν. |
| 33 | And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them. | Facto autem ibi aliquanto tempore, dimissi sunt cum pace a fratribus ad eos qui miserant illos. | ποιήσαντες δὲ χρόνον ἀπελύθησαν μετ᾽ εἰρήνης ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους. |
| 34 | But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem. | Visum est autem Silae ibi remanere: Iudas autem solus abiit Ierusalem. | [ἔδοξε δὲ τῷ Σίλᾳ ἐπιμεῖναι αὐτοῦ.] |
| 35 | And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord. | Paulus autem et Barnabas demorabantur Antiochiae, docentes et evangelizantes cum aliis pluribus verbum Domini. | Παῦλος δὲ καὶ Βαρνάβας διέτριβον ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ διδάσκοντες καὶ εὐαγγελιζόμενοι μετὰ καὶ ἑτέρων πολλῶν τὸν λόγον τοῦ Κυρίου. |
| 36 | And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do. | Post aliquot autem dies, dixit ad Barnabam Paulus: Revertentes visitemus fratres per universas civitates in quibus praedicavimus verbum Domini, quomodo se habeant. | Μετὰ δέ τινας ἡμέρας εἶπε Παῦλος πρὸς Βαρνάβαν· ἐπιστρέψαντες δὴ ἐπισκεψώμεθα τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν κατὰ πᾶσαν πόλιν ἐν αἷς κατηγγείλαμεν τὸν λόγον τοῦ Κυρίου, πῶς ἔχουσι. |
| 37 | And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark; | Barnabas autem volebat secum assumere et Ioannem, qui cognominabatur Marcus. | Βαρνάβας δὲ ἐβουλεύσατο συμπαραλαβεῖν τὸν Ἰωάννην τὸν ἐπικαλούμενον Μᾶρκον· |
| 38 | But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received. | Paulus autem rogabat eum (ut qui discessisset ab eis de Pamphylia, et non isset cum eis in opus) non debere recipi. | Παῦλος δὲ ἠξίου, τὸν ἀποστάντα ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ Παμφυλίας καὶ μὴ συνελθόντα αὐτοῖς εἰς τὸ ἔργον, μὴ συμπαραλαβεῖν τοῦτον. |
| 39 | And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus. | Facta est autem dissensio, ita ut discederent ab invicem, et Barnabas quidem, assumpto Marco, navigaret Cyprum. | ἐγένετο οὖν παροξυσμός, ὥστε ἀποχωρισθῆναι αὐτοὺς ἀπ᾽ ἀλλήλων, τόν τε Βαρνάβαν παραλαβόντα τὸν Μᾶρκον ἐκπλεῦσαι εἰς Κύπρον. |
| 40 | But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God. | Paulus vero, electo Sila, profectus est, traditus gratiae Dei a fratribus. | Παῦλος δὲ ἐπιλεξάμενος Σίλαν ἐξῆλθε, παραδοθεὶς τῇ χάριτι τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν, |
| 41 | And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients. | Perambulabat autem Syriam et Ciliciam, confirmans ecclesias: praecipiens custodire praecepta Apostolorum et seniorum. | διήρχετο δὲ τὴν Συρίαν καὶ Κιλικίαν ἐπιστηρίζων τὰς ἐκκλησίας. |
